Blue- Congrats!!! how fun. Do you already have names picked out? My DH is taking forever picking them. Makes it hard to finish the final touches on their rooms without it.

Ali- Thinking of you!
 
Thinking about you every day, Ali! ❤❤❤

Congrats on the girls, Blue! You are going to have so much fun dressing them! ;-)
 
Blue, yeah for team pink!!!!

Brandy, we haven't even thought much about names! And now that we are moving 6 weeks after my due date...no nursery to plan until later :(

Ali, hoping for the best outcome ever!!!
 
Mells- Where are you guys going this time? Somewhere warm, I hope! VA is cooooold! I'm sorry you have to move right after having the babies. I'm sure that makes things a bit more complicated.
 
My dh has names picked out. I picked dd1 name so he has declared that he gets to name at least one if not both babies lol. I don't have any in mind so may just leave it up to him lol

Ali praying for you xxxx

Lucky for us, this is our shortest move. We are headed one state west to Tucson AZ. It does get cold in NM and last year we had a snow storm that shut the city down. I won't miss the cold, but both DH and I miss having a fall season. How are you doing?
 
Morning ladies,

So sorry to keep you all in suspense! I was dealing with some pretty heavy things this week. The 2WW, work issues and it was the 30th anniversary of my dad's death! Talk about a trifecta! Couple that with the hormones, and I'm sure you can image what it was like!

Unfortunately it's a :bfn: I don't have the beta til Monday but I'm 11dp3dt and still :bfn: so I think I'm done. The AF cramps started this morning and I'd probably have AF today if it weren't for the progesterone. Oddly enough the tests at 6dp3dt have turned positive over time, has anyone seen that? Where they were negative at the time of taking them, but a few days later they are :bfp: :shrug: I don't know what to think about that other than a faulty test, the trigger still or maybe a chemical.

I do have a plan.. I always need a plan to
make the loss easier to handle.

1) Use the health coach and work my butt off to get back to my goal weight, 60 lbs is my goal (to lose), or however many I can lose in 5-6 months.
2) Get tested for insulin resistance, PCOS, and get a better understanding of how bad my case really is
3) See if there is anything surgical they can do to my ovaries to keep them in place, and/or ovarian drilling. My deductible is maxed out right now so any surgery we do before the end of the year is FREE.
4) Get a second opinion, I love my FS but even the best of them can miss things. I'd be remiss to not seek a second opinion. I'm not sure if switch to another FS but hearing the perspective of another FS can never hurt! I'll probably do that in 2-3 months
5) Repeat labs around 4-5 months and decide whether another IVF is even an option. I'm thinking not, but perhaps after battling my weight and PCOS for 5 months it will be good? My AMH was 5 and my FSH/LH was 6 before this current IVF, so my egg reserve is still there, I think it's the PCOS that is making them crappy. I was doing a GF diet last IVF and I wonder if that was enough to combat the PCOS last time?
6) Do an endometrial scratch
7) Do an IVF or FET with my last two embryos in 5-6 months.
8) If those fail and I have no more embryos then look at embryo donation.

Another question I have for my FS is whether I should continue treating the NK cells for the next 5/6 months to keep them surpressed or whether the intralipids will become less effective over time :shrug: If it will help the. I'm all for continuing. It's $185/mo so not too expensive.

There you have it ladies! My plan! :haha:

Blue... congrats on the twin girls!!!


Everyone else.. thanks for thinking of me.. :hugs:
 
Ali so sorry. It is so unfair. I agree having those steps and plans of action do help give something positive and hopeful to focus on xxxxxx
 
Ali :( sorry it's a bfn! I think your plan sounds like you have thought it out. The wt loss is a great idea b/c it may help you get rid of the insulin resistance issue and maybe even the pcos if it's being caused by extra weight. 50-60 is totally doable in 5-6 months.

A second opinion is good. I went for mine and he reassured me my re was doing things right. He threw in a few more tests which he said would be normal and they were. I knew what his plan was and we almost decided not to do the fet with my current re. I'm glad we did! It will all work out for you and I think your fet will work. You should ask about scratch biopsy cycle before fet also. Again I'm sorry it's bfn :(

Good point on the scratch, we did one before my last FET, the one that got me pregnant the last time. I'll add that to the list!
 
Ali, so sorry! You are so knowledgeable and know your body well, so I think your plan is very doable. Your numbers are still good, so you still have options. Good luck!!!!
 
Ali - I'm sorry :hugs: that is a lot to go through in one week. I think your plan for moving forward sounds great. Have you considered doing a consult at CCRM? I know they offer phone consults. Of course they charge for them but it might be good since they have some of the highest success rates in the country. Even if you stay with your current FS, CCRM might have some new ideas for you to implement on your next cycle.
 
Ali- so so sorry, I was really thinking it was a positive. And i do hear ccrm has a great rate and might try something different from your current re. I will keep you in my prayers

Yes, I was thinking of talking to them, and a local FS as well. Hopefully they, including my FS will create a plan that works! Then I can continue to work with my current FS unless I'm given a compelling reason to go with CCRM or the other local FS. I believe I have 3-4 others in the area, of I can go across the peninsula and try the clinics on the west coast of FL. I'm just not sure if it would make financial sense to go to Denver or the West coast. I lived in Denver and have friends that might put me up for the stim period and ER/ET if I were to choose CCRM. Right now I'm going to focus on getting fit.. starting tomorrow! LOL Today I'm resting!

Thanks! I think that my diet caused this IVF to fail, so I'm really going to focus on that for now. Hopefully my eggs quantity will stay as it is, and treating the insulin resistance and shedding a few pounds will improve the quality.

Has anyone heard of surgery to anchor your ovaries? Mine move in strange ways and are hard to see or get to when I stim. I was wondering whether we could do something to keep them in place?
 
Ali, So sorry :hugs: Sounds like you have a great plan in place. Good luck with the weight loss. Make sure you keep us updated xx
